Summary

Many people have difficulties organising their behaviour and problem-solving (also known as executive function difficulties) after stroke. This can have serious, wide-ranging consequences for wellbeing and ability to regain independence. Currently, access to psychological interventions after stroke varies and there is not enough evidence to recommend a specific intervention for executive function difficulties after stroke. A short intervention was designed to help with executive function difficulties by making it easier to set goals and achieve them after stroke. The intervention is designed for online delivery to make it accessible to as many stroke survivors as possible. The present trial aims to investigate the acceptability and feasibility of a single blinded randomized controlled trial of this online executive function intervention (active intervention) compared to an online stroke psychoeducation intervention (control intervention).
